Public Records

Pursuant to the Open Public Records Act (OPRA) [N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.], the township clerk is the official custodian of government records for the Township of Vernon.

A request for access to a government record must be in writing and hand-delivered, faxed, mailed or e-mailed to the clerk’s office (requests cannot be made by telephone). Requests should be on our official Request for Public Record form, however, a written request will not be denied solely because the request is not on the proper form. Written requests that are not on the form must mention OPRA.
